Chapter 12 When Francesca slowly looked Docep over, she noticed the dirt-stained, yellowed shirt and his worn military boots. “So you’ve been walking around like this?” It was exactly the outfit the butler had described. “Ah. It’s just easier to move around this way.” Francesca’s expression hardened instantly. The brief moment of remorse she’d felt over neglecting him vanished, and her words came out sharp and rigid as usual. “Go change at once! What will the servants…

Chapter 11 “…So you were that serious.” But Francesca’s reaction was the complete opposite of what I expected. “Everything I said today was sincere.” I really meant it. I meant that I wanted to leave under a new identity. I meant that I wanted her to let me go. “I see. Then all the more reason to bring you into the family.” Why does she look more satisfied the more I answer? Something is going very wrong. “No. I’m not going.” “The day you enter the family…

Chapter 09 “What exactly do you people want?” Thomas tried to shake off Carlos’s grip roughly, but it didn’t budge in the slightest. “I saw you coming out of that house.” “So what?” Irritated, Thomas replied sharply. “What were you doing in there?” “If it’s a doctor, isn’t it obvious? A medical checkup. Surely you’re not asking because I ate a meal in there.” “And what was the result of the examination? If you answer properly, we’ll let you go…-

Chapter 08 There was a story behind this potato pancake, in its own way. Back when I lived with my in-laws, there was a time I craved potato pancakes so badly that I secretly bought potatoes at the market and made the batter. But before I could even fry them, my mother-in-law discovered it. She scolded me, asking why I would make something her son didn’t even eat, and threw all the potatoes out of the house. I just wanted to eat them. “That’s amazing, Halara! I never thought you were the…

Chapter 07 “Young Master?” It was the moment Carlos finally recognized Docep. The instant their eyes met, Docep bolted out of the yard and started running. Carlos chased after him. “Young Master!!” He kept running, shouting as he went. Docep darted through the winding alleys, quickly disappearing from view. Unlike the Docep, who usually wore his hair neatly tied back, the man before him had shaggy, unkempt hair. But Carlos had served him since he was very young. There…

Chapter 06 “No! Please don’t do it like that!” My shrill voice cut through the air. I grabbed the unfamiliar man’s hand and shouted. “Have you never peeled a potato before?!” I stared at him in disbelief as I held up the potato he had peeled— no, mutilated. Why is this mercenary so bad at peeling potatoes? Don’t tell me he’s lived this long without ever properly peeling one? “Why would I have?” He replied flatly, as if the question itself was…

hapter 05 When I arrived at the blacksmith’s shop, the long swords hanging on the wall immediately caught my eye. I doubt they sell kitchen knives here, but… I decided to look around and ask anyway. And then— “Oh.” I spotted him. “That mercenary from before?” The man with dark red hair hanging loose, lazily polishing a sword. “Excuse me.” It was finally time to collect the apple money. Up close, the mercenary looked like a painting. Long hair still…

Chapter 04 “Halara!” The middle-aged woman frowned the moment she spotted Halara. Her voice sounded irritated. “What is this? You even prepared my snack again today?” A snack? “Food tastes better when you don’t eat alone. Come on in.” “Thanks. But seriously, isn’t something going on with you? How can a person change so suddenly?” At that, Halara’s expression stiffened for a moment. As if she’d been hit right on the mark. Carlos held his breath in the…

Chapter 03 I went straight back to the market. A sign I hadn’t noticed earlier now caught my eye. A name that appeared often in the original novel. The market where a sword spirit was said to appear and devour goods. People here believed the spirit was nothing more than a legend, but much later, when Docep returned with his companions, he would encounter it. Of course, that was long after the Bloodymary family had fallen. For now, it was just a peaceful marketplace. “The shop I…

CHAPTER 02 The thought “Maybe my son really did fall for that face…” was still dominating her mind. “Cough! You’re saying you’re carrying my son’s child?” Clutching her pounding chest, she asked. Halara’s expression as she looked back at her was firm. She looked resolute enough to say, “Yes. It’s true at any moment. Please say it’s not true. Say you just made it up! Even though she’d already come this far, Francesca was desperate enough to hope for exactly…
